| abstract | - Megami's early childhood was a lonely one, and one without a name. Either by being orphaned or simply abandoned she was forced to fend for herself in the streets. It was here that she gathered with similar children as they struggled for survival. This time of her life would forever shape her opinion regarding the value of authority figures, government, and her responsibilities to others. Due to her living circumstances the young girl would hone her stealth and combat abilities so that she could help provide for and defend herself and others. It was then that a group of traveling group of mercenary shinobi came through the poor village and recruited what had become a small gang of children. It was on that day that a young girl chose a name for herself that symbolized the anguish of being thrown aside by society, Megami Otsuihō (Otsuihou Megami 女神を追放; Literally Meaning: "Banished Goddess"). While Megami was thought to be another expendable tool for the group of mercenaries, she quickly began to shine after surviving several assignments they assigned to her. Unfortunately, her childhood comrades didn't fare and all perished within the first month. By surviving a considerable amount of danger the mercenary group deciding that instructing Megami in the ways of the ninja would be highly beneficial. Over the years she developed nearly unfathomable skills in many traditional shinobi arts, but never obtained the same amount of affection that she had received during her time with the other children in poverty. Due to this universal lack of camaraderie the mercenary group slowly began to fall apart due to domestic disputes, usually resulting from greed. It was because of this lack of positive relationships within the group that Megami held no remorse as the group quickly began to be killed off as they carried out different missions. When she was nineteen Megami and the last few members of her fellow mercenaries would take up their final objective. After the collapse of the recently resurgent formation of Akatsuki Megami and her group her hired to eliminate the former second in command before he could return home, where he would be protected by his clan's influence on the village's government. When the group cornered Shirokaze Fuyutama in the southern region of the Land of Wind they had the mistake of underestimating the abilities of their target. Megami could only look on in awe as Shirokaze decimated the attacking force, which outnumbered him over twenty to one, before looking upon an unscathed Megami. Desperately questioning the Fuyutama why he had sparred her Shirokaze answered that she looked as if she was lost in a trance the entire time. As Shirokaze turned to leave Megami simply asked the Majutsu Swordsman if was wise to turn back to an enemy, to which the Fuyutama replied that he simply couldn't. Stunned by this response the young kunoichi began to follow Shirokaze from the shadows, convincing herself that she was going to finish the job that she was hired to do. On the contrary, Megami had become completely enthralled by her target, which became evident as she trailed him as he made his way back toward Kyoukokugakure. After several days of this process the Majutsu Swordsman finally beckoned his pursuer out of hiding when he arrived on the border of his home country. Deu to the fact that Megami hadn't even attempted to him, despite having several opportunities, Shirokaze questioned why she had followed him so far. Unwilling to answer Megami opted to ask once again why Shiro hadn't killed her. As the diverted their eyes from one another it became clear that they had formed some kind of awkward bond. From that point on the rest was history. Megami joined Shirokaze as he returned to his village where she was promptly made into a citizen and welcomed into the Fuyutama Clan. She and Shiro would also become the parents of a baby girl the same year as her arrival in Kyoukoku, who both devoted a great deal of time raising her into a fine kunoichi. Furthermore, Megami was a powerful driving force in the creation of the international organization SENSHI, where she took the position of a high level officer overseeing intelligence operations. Most importantly though, Megami had finally discovered a place that she belonged in the world.
